your left foot"), QPP ("Hold on a minute, I drank a liter of water and need to
use the bathroom."), and QSC ("send cigarettes", not the official meaning of
"this is a cargo vessel"). In the question form, QNB?, is supposed to mean "How
many buttons does your radio have?" A reply of the form QNB 45/15 means "45, and
I know what 15 of them do." Another example is QLO, accepted to stand for
"Quietly listening out" to indicate that one has signed out of a net, but has
not ceased listening. QSJ is sometimes used to refer to the cost of something -
"I would like an FT9000 but it is too much QSJ". (QSJ actually means "What is
the charge to be collected to ... including your internal charge?").</SPAN></P>
